I was so happy I purchased a collar with a breakaway cat collar! You know the one where the clasp breaks easily should the collar get caught or tangled. Gizmo one of my 2 cats that go outside, came back in today and his safety cat collar was gone. Completely gone! Gizmo likes to go outside. No matter how hard I try and keep him inside, he always manages to break, sneak or plead his way out of doors.

Gizmo enjoys mingling with the ferrel cats in the neighborhood and likes to chase the possum in the area. Unfortunately, there is an abandoned house across the alley and he likes to squeeze through the fence and chew the grass in the yard. I’ve seen him climb the nearby tree to chase after a squirrel and climb on the roof of our house in order to view the nest of birds in our gutters. He really thinks he is an outside kitty.

There is no telling what he was up to when he came back with his cat collar gone. He had to have gotten stuck somewhere and pulled the collar off. I shudder to think what would have happened if he had not had on the collar with the safety clasp. It would have been devastating if anything had happened to my kitty. So off I go to the pet store for a new safe cat collar with a personalized tag. I would much rather purchase another collar, not another cat.
